[Phone call filtered from drones]Ah, happy "new" year, Mayfield. I-I'm glad I'm back to being myself, o-or more like everyone recognize that I'm me again. Did anyone catch that radio broadcast? It was on late. I-I was wondering if anyone else could make out what was said at the end, there, or what you thought about it

Comments

[perfektsymmetry]

So did I. It was really distorted. I wish I could have gotten a recording of it or something. I'd like to figure out the rest.

A-Ah, yeah, that's for sure.

[[OOC - excellent! He could use some practice.]]

[perfektsymmetry]

Oh, um, on occasion, yeah. I-I've been sort of distracted lately. I really need to get back to it.

[Free food yes. Popping her head in the door.]

I heard there were free baked goods.

[perfektsymmetry]

[Crowe gives her a small smile.] There's a lot of free baked goods. Come on in and sit down. How are you?

[littlemiss101]

[Walks inside.]

Much better. Got some nice things from home for Christmas. And I even managed to avoid being killed. Always a plus.

sorry for the delay! been sick ><

[perfektsymmetry]

Ah, yeah, I managed to hide out here to avoid being attacked. I feel like that's a better Christmas present than anything.

[In the kitchen, there's all manner of cookies laid out on plates. Currently a tea pot is set to boil on the stove.]

Help yourself. There should be some tea ready soon.

rec center, yo

[It must be a miracle, because the ever elusive Caesar has appeared in the wilds of the rec center. He isn't bothering to see who else is around, though. He's just there to take over whatever wash station or sink it has out in the open. He's cleaning out the comment box!

With all the soap.

All of it.]

[perfektsymmetry]

[Well that's interesting.

Time for a break. Crowe hops off the bar, and walks over.]

Hey, Caesar. Did someone, um... mess up the box?

[commentboxtroll]

Crowe. [Hi, Crowe. How long do you need to scrub wood to be sure it's clean? He doesn't do this kind of thing usually!] Someone put a note covered in blood in it, so yeah, someone did mess it up.

[perfektsymmetry]

...In blood? I-I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. You might be better off buying some spray disinfectant, I think.

Action!

[boots_and_boys]

[ Yep, Magnus is leaning in the doorway listening in on that phone call. Arms crossed, head tilted at a curious angle. ]

Are you worried?

[perfektsymmetry]

Oh. About being moved?

[A short pause as he thinks.] Ah, a bit, I guess. You never with whom you might end up. Plus... I've been in this house for almost two years now. I-I don't like to think of it as "home", but I am used to it.

[boots_and_boys]

Two years? I suspect that several different people have come and gone through this house, then. Am I right?

[perfektsymmetry]

Yeah, a lot. Though Hol and Ash where here for a long time with me. You're the third "father" I've had here so far.

Phone

[kinships]

[When Cain replies it's with a polite voice, especially as he's speaking to someone new.]

I'm sorry, I don't think I got it all, certainly the first sentence was inaudible for me, and some of it may be a mistake. But I believe it said: "--have lost so much, we've got a second chance -- human, so there can be-- love. In a world where nothing can hurt me any more."

[perfektsymmetry]

It did sound very distorted. Like... Like it was trying to come through, or maybe be covered up. Hard to tell. But yeah, it sounds like you heard a bit more than I did. I always wonder what they're trying to prove with these cryptic messages.

[kinships]

I wish I could have heard what the rest said, but it was just too garbled. It makes me nervous that the most important bits were the inaudible ones.

[perfektsymmetry]

Well, leave it to Mayfield to keep us in the dark, eh? Still, I'll make note of what you think said. Thanks.
